5 ways to wear a scarf

Keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, these are wonderful accessories to brighten up any outfit.

  1. 1950s style hair wrap

Fold the scarf in half diagonally to make a triangular shape. With the scarf on to your head and the point of the triangle over your forehead, bring the two ends together to tie a knot and then a 2nd knot. Push the small triangle at the crown of your head in to the middle of this double knot. Then tuck the two remaining pieces of fabric in at the top and sides to complete the look.
